Addictive Eaters Anonymous
“As far back as I can remember, I was fascinated by food.” This is what I heard the young woman who carried this message of recovery to me say and I just knew that she knew. I knew that she understood that as much as I wanted to control my eating so I wouldn’t put on any more weight, I just couldn’t. I knew that she understood how I would go to sleep at night desperately hoping tomorrow would be different, dreaming that tomorrow I would win the battle against food and despairing that I would never lose weight. I knew that she understood that I never did ever win that battle, always at some point in the day I would just give in and start eating and not be able to stop. I knew she understood that I had been dieting and struggling with food my entire life.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Thirty-Six on at Circa Theatre 7 March – 4 April
Jenny and David meet on a tinder date. She wants a one-night stand, and he wants to go through the 36 questions that are meant to lead to love… What unfolds is a night of daring and divulging. Of holding back and holding on. It’s not about happily ever after, it’s about all the people we meet along the way.
Starring Fern Sutherland (Brokenwood Mysteries) Niwa Whatuira (M3gan 2.0) and Anya Tate-Manning (PSA).
Inspired by one of the most esteemed Modern Love articles from The New York Times “The 36 Questions That Lead to Love”. Winner of Best New Play in Bay Area Will Glickman Award 2025.
“A rom-com with an irreverent streak, Thirty-Six is a fun, flirty, occasionally dirty romp. Maybe bring a date. You’ll definitely learn something about each other by the end of the evening” — KQED
